MIPS: Malta: Improve system memory detection for '{e, }memsize' >= 2G
Using kstrtol to parse the "{e,}memsize" variables was wrong because this
parses signed long numbers. In case of '{e,}memsize' >= 2G, the top bit
is set, resulting to -ERANGE errors and possibly random system memory
boundaries. We fix this by replacing "kstrtol" with "kstrtoul".
We also improve the code to check the kstrtoul return value and
print a warning if an error was returned.
